Coastal Command Rocket Liberators...
Here's what,
During the summer/autumn of '43 several Liberators were tested out with rockets mounted on stub-wings on the nose. From my references I've got 224, 120 and 311 Sqn Liberators actually attacking and achieving U-boot kills/damages from July to October. Then nothing. Did this practise continue or did one stop using R/P as the U-boots stopped lingering on the surface when attacked? Has anything been written on the conclusion of this what I assume must have been testing only? Did rocket operations only take place from Cornwall and Northern Ireland or did they use rockets on the 59 and 86 sqn Libs flying out of Scotland towards Norway? K
